I’ve just discovered that a new edition of HATER is released this month. SALGIN (which translates as Epidemic) is about to be published in Turkey by Artemis. This is my first Turkish release, and it’s very satisfying to see new versions of the book still hitting the shelves after all this time. Incredibly, the first, self-published Infected Books edition is almost nine years old, and it’s six years since Thomas Dunne Books in the US and Gollancz in the UK gave the book its first mass market releases. I actually think HATER is more relevant today than ever. There are a lot of uncomfortable parallels to be drawn with some current world events…

But whenever I mention HATER, I get a flood of questions asking ‘what about the movie?’. You’ve had years of me telling you to be patient, that I’ll have some news soon. Just a little while longer now, I promise. Things are beginning to happen.
